DLR research aircraft HALO at Shannon Airport, Ireland
The image shows HALO parked at Shannon Airport in Ireland. Thanks to its long range and scientific equipment, the DLR research aircraft is ideally suited to the wide-area NAWDIC measurement flights over the North Atlantic. The transatlantic airspace poses particular operational challenges in terms of flight operations. The DLR Flight Experiments facility is responsible for close coordination with air traffic control centres.
